Timothy Tusha to: AmesCityCouncil@city.ames.ia.us 05/22/2018 09:44 AM
Dear Mayor and Council,
Tonight each of you will make a decision regarding the proposed Rental Ordinance Cap. I own
property in the SCAN district west of Lynn Ave. I have signed petitions opposing this ordinance as well I
have sent many emails asking that the council consider numerous options. Please consider the facts
that those of us west of Lynn Street based on the petitions submitted there is overwhelming support
AGAINST the ordinance in this area.
I would also like the council to consider allowing those of that do not have a LOC be given an
opportunity to apply and be GRAND FATHERED, allowing us to bring the property up to code. Allowing
this I do not believe will have a huge impact simply because many of those property owners who
currently do not have the designation most likely will not be willing to spend the dollars to bring
property up to code.
In closing I trust that the council will be willing to compromise with us Property owners who in the
past did not need the LOC simply because I had my own daughters living in our property. We purchased
our property in good faith we had pride in our property and believed we are good neighbors. I would
like the opportunity to keep my property values, because I am West of Lynn Street I am in a
neighborhood that has a very high concentration of Rentals by limiting my property which sits among
many properties with an LOC you will dramatically lower the valuation of my property. Thank You for
your consideration.
Respectfully,
Tim Tusha
